LIME FOR VEGETABLES If vegetable plants remain weak and yellow when enough fertilizer and water are present, and there are no signs of insect, disease, or nematode problems — then take a soil sample to determine the land’s pH level. The soil may be too acid for vegetable production. Lime is needed to correct the problem.

JOHNSON Did the sun actually stand still at the command of Joshua? No—not at the command of Jos hua but because God answered Joshua’s prayer. We read this statement in Jos hua 10:12, “Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the man Qf Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still at Gibeon, and thou Moon in the valley of Aijalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took ven geance on their enemies.” I wonder how many have no ticed that the moon was stopped in its course as well as the sun. The record goes on to say that “the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. There has been no day like it be fore or since, when the Lord hearkened to the voice of man I believe that the Bible says exactly what it means and that God honored Joshua’s request at this time for at least two rea sons. He was a child of God ask ing in faith believing and it was Subscription Price and Tax Inside county $2.51 Outside county, in state $3.09 Outside state —. $3.00 By George A. Loyd County Agent All crops grown in Brantley County have suffered severe dam age from extensive rains in the county during the month of May. Local residents, who have kept a record on rainfall, state that as much as 23 inches or more fell in some areas. The rains, which started shortly after much of the tobacco was set in the fields, con tinued almost daily and has kept tobacco on low land in a drowned condition. Tobacco planted on higher land, that survived the rains early in the month, has all but been wiped out in recent week, as rains be come heavier and more numerous. It appears now that 70 to 80 per cent of the entire crop will be lost. Much of what remains is ex pected to be light and of poor quality, due to leaching of ferti lizer. poor root system, and late growth. Corn, gardens, pastures and other crops have also suffered. Much of the corn has never been plowed, and grass has taken the crop, but it is felt that some of the corn can be worked out and made to produce if it will dry off in time for it to be worked out and refertilized. All farmers are advised to re fertilize their corn with at least 200 lb. of 5-10-15. If nitrate has already been applied an additional amount of 100-150 Pounds of am monium nitrate or its equivalent should be applied, if possible. If none has been applied, the regu lar amount of 200-300 pounds should be applied. Farmers who have livestock to utilize grazing, should also apply nitrogen to grass, and consider putting millet for temporary graz ing. THE MIRACLE OF PULP AND PAPER Wood pulp — or carboxy-methyl cellulose, to give its chemical name — is used as a thickening agent in the manufacture of ice cream. Kraft paper is used to make the shopping bags that you get at the supermarket. Today, it is be ing twisted and knitted into drapes and hats for men and wo men. An experimental sports jac ket for men has been made of this versatile kraft paper. Chemicals from the tree im prove the wetting and flow pro-’ perties of paint. It clings to a sur face and provides a smoother fin ish. an opportunity to witness to the heathen nations that the Sun which they worshipped as their god was completely under the con trol of the Almighty God. Many have attempted to explain this MIRACLE away by advan cing the argument of the laws of nature which govern the earth, moon and sun. How foolish it is to think that a God who could create such a wonderful Universe with its many galaxies—a God who by His power can keep them in their respective orbits—could not adjust the movement of His Light Holders in relation to the earth for that short period of time. Os course, this is a miracle and cannot be explained any more than we can explain how Christ raised the dead or how the wa ters of the Red Sea was parted facts which defy all the laws of nature which we know. God’s power is unlimited and we limit Him when we say that there are some things which He can not do. May our faith not stumble before this mighty act of God.
